My dad and I have been estranged for years. But as his only living relative, it’s no surprise I inherit his massive cattle ranch when he dies. Something that is a surprise? The stipulation in his will, which requires me to live on the ranch and actively manage it for a year before I can access my inheritance money.
I haven’t stepped foot in Hartsville, Texas, population one thousand, since my parents split when I was six. Now a city girl through and through, I never imagined having to move back to cowboy country. But I need the money to invest in my company, and a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.
There’s just one giant roadblock to my plan: the ranch’s foreman, grumpy cowboy Cash Rivers. I don’t care how good he looks in his Wranglers and chaps. He’s rude, he’s growly, and he wants me gone. I’d fire him in a heartbeat, but I need this cowboy to teach me the ropes of running a ranch.
We’re enemies from the get-go. But turns out, Cash is really good at this ranch thing. He’s got strong hands, an intelligent mind, and let’s just say everything really is bigger in Texas. Working alongside him leads to conversations beneath the stars. Throw in some cheek-to-cheek dancing at the local dive bar, and it all feels so right that I start to fall in love with life on the ranch. And maybe with him, too.
But my stay in Hartsville is only temporary. And you know what they say about cowboys: they may break horses, but they also break hearts. If only Cash hadn’t already lassoed mine…
CASH is the first standalone book in the brand new steamy, interconnected Lucky River Ranch Series.
My Review
Is the first full length romance book in the new 'Lucky River Ranch Series' by author Jessica Peterson. Spoken in dual perspectives (Mollie & Cash).
I purchased this after seeing it pop up a time or two on my newsfeeds and couldn't wait to dive in once I'd gotten out from under my Arcs, and I'm so glad I did, this pulled me in straight away! And you've gotta love a good cowboy book and Cash didn't disappoint.
🤠 Small town
🤠 Hot cowboys
🤠 Enemies to lovers
🤠 Forced proximity
🤠 Opposites attract
Not gonna lie, I didn't like Mollie to begin with, she came across like a money grabbing cold selfish b*tch but delve deeper into her character and she had more depth and hurt feelings towards her father with regrets that they both didn't push harder at reconnecting.
Cash was everything, he'd missed out on so much in life, when his parents passed away he stepped up and took on the father figure role to his younger siblings, putting his own life on hold. Even as he grew older family came first.
This was the perfect no frills cowboy romance book that didn’t need all the unnecessary angst, real to life living on a cattle farm, the scenery, the characters made this such a unique book which has me excited for the next brother to fall in love.
I loved the push and pull these two had from the get go, the slow burn, the enemies to lovers, until they realised they were both placed in a situation out of their control and maybe just maybe it was the perfect set up by her father.
Fab review, as always luv!! xoxo
